The Santa Tecla Festival, held on the first Sunday of the festivities, presents a top-tier event in Tarragona's Plaça de la Font. The gathering, scheduled for 12:15 PM, will include Els Xiquets de Tarragona, Colla Jove Xiquets de Tarragona, Colla Vella dels Xiquets de Valls, and Castellers de Vilafranca.
This exhibition is considered a significant test, particularly in light of competition objectives. The event is defined by the combination of past achievements and future expectations within the 'castells' community.
The festival's format is well-organized. Each 'colla' performs in rotating turns, determined by a prior draw. The event will consist of three main performance rounds. 'Collas' unable to complete their three planned structures will have the opportunity for up to two additional turns, maintaining the order established by the draw. The exhibition will conclude with the performance of the 'pilars', also executed according to the set participation order.
